About the daphnia, heres a website that sells a hatching kit: Daphnia Instant Culture Kit - Home Science Tools . I'm not sure on the reliability, but it got a good review. Something to look at anyway. Eventually they will reproduce. I remember when I raised salamanders, there was daphnia in the tank. Although, they liked the Copepods better lol.

Thats cool, around here theres a spot i stop by every year, usually early summer and there are 100's of those orange belly salamanders. Kinda neat.

That's awesome. Also I'm sure googling daphnia wouldn't hurt either. The ones I had in my tank had come from a pond, so they were free lol.

Ok i put about 3/4 of what i was suppost to put in to kill the algae. Tetra agae fix. Then i did another about 40 percent water change so they wouldnt get an ammonia spike. Looked a little better. Not really thou. A day later i covered it it for about 3 days. I just uncovered it earlier today and they were all happy and what not. I turned the light back off cause i was going to go to bed. Then i shined a flashlight in there out of boredom, and the fish are acting odd.

They swim normal, turn a little sideways and swim fast. I havent had a chance to do another water change. But im assuming its an ammonia spike, correct? Ill do another water change tomarow. I really dont want anything to happen to them. Should i do another water change? Ill buy stuff to test ammonia tomarow.

Btw i turned the tank light back on and they acted normal again. All happy and wanting food. What do you guys think. Im thinking i got a small ammonia spike.
